No. 576,895 1 Claim.(Cl. 224--26) ABSTRACT 0F THE DISCLOSURE A pocket having a strap towhich a wire holder is secured, the wire holder being removably securedto a persons belt, thus providing a convenient case for supportingvarious objects.

This invention relates generally to tote bags for carrying miscellaneoussmall objects.

A principal object of the present inventio-n is to provide a carryallbelt pocket having means for containing a plurality of small items andwhich has self-contained means for being supported upon a persons belt.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a carryall beltpocket which is readily adaptable for use by Sportsmen and fishermen forthe purpose of carrying tools, firearm shells, iishermans accessories,first aid equipment or the like.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a carryall beltpocket which is readily adaptable for persons in various out-of-doorstrades such as linesmen, rangers, and others who wish to have readilyavailable to them various tools or other small items without thenecessity of carrying them in their hands.

Other objects of the present invention are to provide a carryall beltpocket which is simple in design, inexpensive to manufacture, rugged inconstruction, easy to use and etiicient in operation. These and otherobjects will be readily evident upon a study of the following drawingand this accompanying specilication wherein:

FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of the present invention shown supportedfrom a belt of a person;

FIGURE 2 is a side elevation view of the present invention shownsupported from a wire holder which in turn is supported from a belt of aperson, and

FIGURE `3 is a side elevation view thereof shown partly incross-section.

Referring now to the drawing in detail, the numeral represents acarryall belt pocket according to the present invention wherein there isa bag 11 made from relatively strong material such as canvass or duck sothat it may withstand rugged out-of-door use. Obviously the bag may beprovided having a plastic liner or the like to prevent moisture or rainwater from seeping thereinto.

The bag may be made in various sizes so as to be worn by men or byyouths as boy scouts.

The bag comprises a generally rectangular member having a front and rearpanel 12 and 13 respectively, bounded by vertical side edges 14 andbottom edge 15. An opening is provided at the upper end thereofproviding access to an interior compartment 17 within which variousitems may be carried. A cover flap 18 may be provided to enclose theopening 16. The opening may be variously secured such as by slidefastener, snap fasteners buttons or clips as may be preferred by amanufacturer. Otherwise no further securement need be provided otherthan the flap itself, if so preferred.

Adjacent the upper end of the bag 11 there is an up- Patented Jan. 2,1968 ICC wardly tapered strap 19 made integrally of the material formingthe pocket bag 11. The strap 18 is formed to make a loop 20 whichprovides a means for receiving a belt 21 therethrough, as shown inFIGURE 1 for purpose of supporting the carryall belt pocket therefrom.Obviously the strap and bag may be made from a single continuous pieceof material if so preferred, and as shown in the drawing, otherwise itmay be made of separate materials of dissimilar character if sopreferred.

In a modified form of construction shown in FIGURES 2 and 3 of thedrawing, the carryall belt pocket may be supported from a wire holder 22which is received through belt 21, thereby eliminating the necessity ofunbuckling the belt so as to pass the same through the loop Zt.

The wire holder 2?. is comprised of a singular wire formed to have astraight neck portion 23 for receiving the loop 2t) therearound andhaving upward extending the loop 20 and which is then easily snappedover the end portions 2li each of which has a bend 25 at its upper endfor resting over the upper edge 26 of a belt, and which has a downwardlydepending terminal portion 27 which rests against one side of the beltwhile a portion 28 between the portion 23 and the bends 25 is on theopposite side of the belt. Thus in the constructions shown in FIG- URES2 and 3 the carryall belt pocket may be quickly and easily removed fromthe persons belt by simply slipping off the wire holder therefrom.

In operative use the carryall belt pocket may be supported from apersons belt by either of the methods illustrated in the drawing andwith the opening to the pocket readily accessible for quick removal orplacement thereinto of various objects.

It is to be noted that the terminal ends 29 of the wire holder arelooped to form a rounded head which is easy to slip around a belt.

Obviously the present device may be found to have many uses, only a fewof which have been here named. It may be used by herdsmen, police, andothers, and it may be also used for carrying food and thermos bottles ifso preferred.

While various changes may be made in the detailed construction it isunderstood that such changes will be within the spirit and scope of thepresent invention as is defined by the appended claim.
